I will pray to the great Lord from above to reward you, and families with good healthy life, and will to be present for us God bless you sir Tony.

I really love this lesson (and the cycle of 4ths one last week). I have been wondering for a very long time how to learn my fretboard and these notes/scales alphabetically. There are SO many lessons on patterns (5 frets up, 7 frets down, blah blah) but they sort of leave you with that uneasy feeling that you don’t reeeally know where the notes are.

Mark Just wanted to say again Thank You so much. I love what your doing and I am learning so much from the way you present the lessons. I want to wish you and our family a Merry Christmas and a Happy and healthy New Year

There are a lot of bass teachers on the internet; some good, some not so good. There are no bass teachers on the internet (or elsewhere for that matter) with a passion to communicate as enthusiastically and precisely as Mark! Another great lesson, thanks, Mark.

I really like this method it’s wough in the beginning But if we study it the way Mark presented it a little at a time during the day and evening in time it’s digested and learned. Marks positive method of teaching really works I love Talking Bass Happy Holidays Joe Romano

I know it’s a lot to digest all at once my 67 year old brain has found out how to learn this a little at a time. Remember our eyes are bigger than our stomach Mark taught us how in the lesson how to do it. Mark has a positive way to teach. I am glad to be his student. Happy and Healthy holidays to all

Play with as many different people and as often as you can. Be open minded to all kinds of music not just one color flower

Mark, obviously an older lesson but I’m only fairly new to bass and only just really exploring beyond my ‘comfort zone’. I play sax, bari and tenor, and also highland bagpipes and this lesson has really made sense in a massive way, particularly how you explained how you can realistically play any tune on any instrument (provided you can play that instrument) by understanding the scale structure outside the fretboard pattern. Thanks so much for this one, the penny definitey dropped and this has made so much sense of, umm, so much. Cheers mate, appreciate your work. Deano (from South Australia)
